00:00Taiwan's offshore wind power project is facing major delays, with nine out of ten wind farms
00:06falling behind schedule.
00:08Despite an investment of over US$28 billion, only one of Taiwan's ten offshore wind power
00:14sites has met its target.
00:16Officials say this is due to an inability to manufacture parts for these plants domestically.
00:22The Energy Administration says it will reduce development costs and encourage domestic investment
00:27to combat these issues.
00:29Taiwan is also facing pressure from the EU, which says its wind power localization violates
00:34WTO rules.
